Comments: Clare-

The route that you were most likely on based on your description is indeed a 5.7 to the ramp. It is the first pitch to "Road Warrior" (5.13a). The 5.7 ends at a two bolt stance on the ledge. Hope that helps!

Comments: Just some FYI for everyone... Someone has taken the rap hangers off of the bolts at the top of this route. This just means that you cannot rap the route; to belay, just walk off to the left and belay from the ground. -Cheers

Comments: From I-70 the only flow that we could find was the long one at the NE corner of the lake and it looked to be pretty rotten and thin the morning of 3/24.

Comments: I was just looking at some photos of the route taken in June and the entire route looks to be sopping wet due to snow melt from the lower angled slabs and ledges aroud the route. I would advise against climbing this route when wet due to the low angle and lack of real protection. -Cheers

Comments: We accidentally did this route instead of the first pitch of "People's Choice" and found it to be a wonderful face climb or a warm up for harder stuff. I do this route every trip to the High Wire and each time I try to do it differently, and I've found that, while it makes the route easier, the flake offers a number of quite fun variations to the climb overall.

Comments: This is the best sport rout I've ever climbed, hands down! Personally, I found the fist 50 feet the most fun, I love slab climbing. It's easy to get short on the gear if you don't come prepared, however, the bolts are close enough that, if you're comfortable, you could get by with only clipping every other one (especially on the 5.8 section). Great climb!
